Cathrine Bjerre Bruun holds a bachelor's degree in de-
sign and has for the previous 5 years been designing lu-
xury products for By Malene Birger. In April 2018, she
was appointed head of design of the DK Company-owned
brand Soaked in Luxury, which makes the Autumn Ope-
ning collection the first Soaked in Luxury collection for
Cathrine Bjerre Bruun to carry through. And how exact-
ly will she leave her mark on the collection? We had a
chat with the head of design about just that when we vi-
sited the brand on Kanonbådsvej in Copenhagen.
- Soaked in Luxury is first and foremost vibrant. The
definition of the word is lively and dynamic, which is
also true for the brand. The word vibrant also describes
Soaked in Luxury's choice of colours and print designs.
Prints are an essential part of Soaked in Luxury's design
signature. It is one of the ways Soaked in Luxury sets it-
self apart from other brands, says Cathrine Bjerre Bru-
un, who highlights the brand's design-driven strategy.
Pieces with identity
- Soaked in Luxury delivers the newest trends and is
characterized by a certain amount of glam. We want to
provide women with a feeling of luxury, at affordable
prices. The sensation of luxury comes from the choice of
materials, the prints and the design details.
- In our collections you also find pieces that stand out,
pieces with identity. That's why you will find pieces that
are “a bit over the top”, for instance a one-piece suit in
all over tiger print. And you can always be sure to find a
party dress in our collections, says Cathrine Bjerre Bru-
un. The designs make it easy to dress up or down. Wear a
dress with sneakers for everyday use or put on stilettos
for a night out.
Chic and unpretentious
The Soaked in Luxury girl is fashionable but unpretenti-
ous. She is bold. She loves fashion and can afford to buy
Soaked in Luxury often thanks to the brand's affordable
SOAKED IN LUXURY
prices, says Cathrine Bjerre Bruun.
Soaked in Luxury releases six collections per year, not
counting its express drops. New Soaked In Luxury goods
will hit the shelves every week.
